Just curious- from the dates, has ADPi been on campus without a house since 1963? That is amazing!!!

No, they had a house when I was there in the 80's, I believe. They came back to campus in 1963...my guess is that they used their former house or acquired a new one. There an older article in the Daily Nebraskan archive about them. Says they left their house in 1998.

ADPi lived in a university owned sorority house behind the dorm complex in the 1980's when I was in college. They were 4 identical block style brick buildings, circa 1970's.

Here are a couple of links where you can see the houses and then link to the chapter websites.

Besides the T formed by Greek Row on City Campus, there are also quite a few Ag Fraternities on East Campus.

NUBlue&Blue, THANK you for posting those pictures! What beautiful old chapter houses.

Ever since my Okla St. days, I have always believed that a "real" university should have (in addition to all of the latest scientific and liberal arts amenities) 1) an AGR chapter 2) a Farmhouse chapter and 3) a Dairy Science building with the little student store selling ice cream from the model farm dairy science cows...

Iowa State has two of the three - with the Dairy Science club selling home made ice cream during VEISHEA (but it has to compete with nitro-freezed ice cream from the Engineering college, which is tough - that stuff is goooood!)

I hadn't seen the updated website either. It was the same for so long, I just quit checking to see if it was updated!

My brother sends us a big gift box from the Dairy Store on East Campus every year for Christmas....we can't wait until it comes. I'll have to see if I can find a link!

Washington State has all three, plus cheese in addition to ice cream. U Idaho has the first two, but instead of a dairy with ice cream we have Vandal Brand Meats. I'm a big fan of the Viking Cheese and Ferdinand's Grabbers.

Yep, you are triggering that SAM - I wondered why I remembered them - it was because you drove right by them when you went through campus. You have got a great memory! But I wonder who was in the PhiMu/BetaSig house before them? I was at state bball in 1979 and we stayed on the floor at the Beta Sig house in someones friend of a friend's room - I think

(the age in NE then WAS 19, after all!) and it was on Vine street past what is now Beedle Hall.

I don't remember ZTA being there, though!

Back to ALMOST Big 12 - at UNO, a friend of mine's dd pledged Chi O. (There are no houses at UNO - heck, they just got DORMS not too long ago! It is historically a commuter campus but has become quite popular with the dorms now that they have them)

Thanks, I had never seen our chapter's website. Am I a dork to think their "Slice of Pi" newsletter is a cute name? Their 3.5 GPA requirement for recruitment still floors me......

My chapter's Out-of-house newsletter was called "A Slice of Pi" too!

I thought that was a cute name too - they have a really cute website! They should get one of the website awards, if they haven't already.
